What situations your short attention span makes uncomfortable for you apart from things related to some sort of achievement (as perceived by your workplace, school, family, friends, etc)
I mean achievement as something that’s perceived by society, something that you don’t do for enjoyment, something to profit off of in some way (be it simple recognition or raised social status), “I will do this because people will also see it and that’s very good”. It can be the expectations of relatives, workplace, college, or you’re just doing something for the workplace or college.
I’m asking because I cannot imagine what hobbies/activities outside of performing for somebody can be negatively affected by short attention span. It’s not your problem that people are just boring and don’t treat you like a god damn human (workplace that requires you to sit and sign documents for 12 whole hours with little to no breaks, or endless inefficient meetings, for example)
With a question like that, you’re going to be approaching an ambiguous intersection between a short attention span ruining the enjoyment of an activity, and someone simply no longer liking an activity enough. Any answer I give can be attributed to either.
Examples I see in my life are reading longer books vs stuff like writing prompts, and excessive multitasking when trying to do personal stuff.
Fwiw I actively believe that reddit is responsible for shortening my attention span.
It is not hypocritical to call out tik tok for doing the same.

Can you rephrase your question? Imo nearly everything can be interpreted to relate to some sort of achievement.
